	The first part of this equation, the AmigaOS Software Development Kit or '''AmigaOS SDK''', is a collection of files and tools that will convert your source code into an Amiga application. The SDK consists of a collection of the latest documentation, "include" files, example code, utilities and the GCC compiler.

CodeBench comes with comprehensive documentation on itself in web format (that can also be accessed [http://codebench.co.uk/docs/codebench.html here]).

			== Testing CodeBench: Hello World ==

			The first thing you can do with CodeBench is to start a test project to how things work. At [http://codebench.co.uk/docs/started.html this page] you can find information on on starting a project. Basically, it's a matter of clicking the Start Project button, setting a few names and variables and entering a path for your project.

			Once the new project is established, then you can use the "Editor/Create New File..." menu item to start a new source file. If you copy the above "Hello World" source code and paste it into the editor and save the source as "hello-world.c" then you will be ready for compiling.

			In the CodeBench tool bar window, click the green "Build" button and CodeBench will automatically prepare, compile and link your project into an executable program.
			A Build window will appear that will show the status of the building of your project. Assuming your code compiles without errors, you will then see a Run button with a play icon in the CodeBench toolbar. Clicking that button will bring up a window to let you run your program.

	== Testing CodeBench ==		== Testing CodeBench: Hello with a GUI ==

			Once you start coding with CodeBench, you will find it provides a number of aids to help with coding: such as highlighting or coloring the source code by type, letting you work with a number of sources at one time, letting you access AmigaOS documents by shift-double-clicking on AmigaOS functions and providing a quick way to track compiling errors into the source code.
	Start a new project in CodeBench with the help of the documentation on the web site.

	~~Then~~ copy & paste the following ~~code~~ into a new ~~source~~ ~~file~~:		With CodeBench you can easily jump into more advanced coding, such as our old "Hello World" program with a modern GUI. Just copy and paste the following source into a new project and try to compile it:
